Imperial College London Applicants 2018

First year physics student here, let me know if you guys have questions.

I applied on 13th October and took the admissions test on the 26th October. Most people who've applied at the same time have got interviews.

I haven't got an interview. Some people are saying that it doesn't matter when you applied but I'm highly sceptical. What evidence is there to show that not being invited for interview yet doesn't suggest that you've been rejected?

Have I most likely been rejected considering everyone who's applied at the same time has either gotten an interview or is in the same predicament I'm in?

Do you know when Imperial starts rejecting people i.e. showing rejected on UCAS?

Hi there! I have a physics interview in a couple of days and was wondering what your interview was like? My plan is to practice maths/physics qs and just read through my personal statement again i guess. Is that pretty much what to do in terms of preparation?

Thank you!

Can I ask you what your academic profile is like? Like A Level grades and GCSEs..

The questions I was asked were not difficult. He asked me a simple rotational mechanics questions (f=mv^2/r), and a pure maths question. I tripped up on the pure maths question but I still made it, so I doubt they matter much. Know your personal statement properly. He asked me about pretty much most things I mentioned.

GCSEs: 13A* 1A
A-Level (achieved + predicted): A* in A level Maths achieved + A* predictions in Bio, Chem, Physics, FM, AFM

That's why I'm so confused. I was really expecting at least an interview. Maybe I didn't perform well on the admissions test.

How are you doing that many A levels?

I am studying at Imperial so if you have any question regarding life at the uni or in a certain subject at Imperial, feel free to send me a message!

which course are you doing?

Maths w/ Stats

So I applied for materials science. Do you know anyone who's in imperial studying materials science?

Sorry, I don't know anyone doing materials science :/ Tbh it is a small course with not a lot of ppl

Hi!!
My GCSEs are 2A*, 4A, and 2B
My AS level are aaae math, physics chemistry and IT
My predicted A levels are A*A*A in mpc
So does the e grade in IT affect my application although it is not related to my course. And do I have a chance to get an offer in imperial for materials science?
Thanks

Imperial takes into account applications by "cycles" and they select people from these cycles and reject others. Generally, the people falling in the first cycles is quite random, though those who applied early normally have an answer earlier than others. I personally applied the 14th October and got an offer on 3rd November (no interviews in maths) but I know ppl who got rejected only 2 weeks after sending their application and others who got an interview in January/February (when applied between September and December).

Tbh, it's better to wait than being rejected! ;-)
